Installed the LUX H8 160s (PICS)

[JGard]

I just bought some $40 LEDs on Amazon and it looks just like you posted in these pictures. No need to spend a fortune

You can't base the look off pictures when it comes to lighting. So many components to the photo....lighting, shutter, etc. I doubt very much that the $40 Amazon specials look the same but I'd be willing to test if enough people were interested and you posted a link to what you purchased on Amazon.

Exactly right.

These LUX look very nice in person and the both the inside and outside halo rings are super sharp and defined, even in sunlight

I could not stand the stock piss yellow tinted angel eyes that you could barely see

These guys here. There are certain angles where yes, the outer ring looks dimmer, but most of the time, whenever I see them from outside the car or in a reflection off the bumper in front of me, they look perfect.

These have half the amount of LED's, but seeing everything nowadays is just relabeled stuff made in China, there's no guarantee that more bulbs will mean more light. Neverthless, you should try to post duplicate pics. I personally want them to be a little more blueish than what's been posted by either of you.

Reading reviews on xbimmers.com, many have said that the LUX H8 V3 were the best made so far only because somehow they spread the light most evenly between BOTH rings vs most sets nowadays where the inner is always the brightest...a design flaw that they fixed in 2011.

Odd Question with changing over to the LED's...Will they fade in and out like the halogen bulbs or are they like an instant on/off?

they cannot fade. they flicker a couple times before cutting out. you have to code it to remove the flicker

I'm sorry to be the asshole to tell you that looks nothing like the OE corona rings
